Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

A new Starfield mod brings significant visual improvements by overhauling interior lighting, effects, and ambient light. The Enhanced Lights and FX, whose beta version can be downloaded for free from Nexus Mods, aims to create more atmospheric and realistic lighting by overhauling, as mentioned above, interior lighting, effects, and ambient light. This is achieved by making all interior light sources actually emit light, removing lights being cast from nowhere, increasing the use of reflection probes to improve reflections and indirect lighting, tweaking fog, redesigning light to make it more atmospheric, and more. Needless to say, the end results, even in […]
One of my hopes for Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion is that it feels a bit more like a traditional Bethesda RPG. And so far, that’s been the vibe of the pre-release hype. The planet at the center of the new story DLC, Va’ruun’kai, sounds like it ...
Today, Bethesda Game Studios celebrates the one-year anniversary since the release of Starfield, its first new intellectual property in 25 years, as well as its first-ever sci-fi franchise. On Twitter/X, the team thanked all the millions of players (14, last we heard in June) that made this first year 'incredible' for Bethesda. At the same time, they said there's much more on the way, starting with the Shattered Space expansion set for a debut on September 30. They then took the opportunity to share a few new tidbits about what will be in Starfield Shattered Space: 🪐 Over 50 new […]
Around a year ago, Bethesda Game Studios celebrated its best launch ever with Starfield, although that was partly because the sci-fi action roleplaying game was Bethesda's first big title to launch right away on Game Pass. Starfield received great reviews and continues to do well in terms of player numbers, although the game didn't perhaps resonate as much with the community as Bethesda would have liked. Now, with only a few weeks left before the launch of the first expansion, Starfield Lead Creative Producer Tim Lamb told TheGamer that Bethesda is proud of the game but is also aware of […]
Starfield: Shattered Space, the first expansion for the single player sci-fi RPG released last year by Bethesda Game Studios, is now just about a month away from launching. At Gamescom 2024, the developer opened up slightly on what will be featured in the premium DLC. In an interview with Gaming Boulevard, Lead Creative Producer Tim Lamb said: We've added a few new mechanics that we're really excited about. For example, there are new zero-gravity combat scenarios that really change the dynamics of how you approach fights. It adds a layer of strategy that wasn't there before. We've also introduced new […]
Shattered Space, the upcoming first major expansion to Starfield, feels like Bethesda returning to an old, comfy chair. Albeit a horror-driven, combat-intensive chair set in a half-destroyed capital city that’s the victim of a tear in space-time. But r...
Starfield was Bethesda Softworks' most recent game. While critics approved the game, the audience's reception wasn't as great. Starfield had mixed reviews on Steam, predominantly due to the number of bugs that were apparent in the game at release. Starfield Shattered Space's release date was officially revealed at Gamescom 2024, giving people a glimpse into the upcoming expansion for Starfield. This major expansion will be released on September 30 for Xbox and PC. At the moment, there is still no news of whether Starfield will be coming to the PlayStation 5 in the future or if Bethesda is even planning […]
Today during Gamescom, Bethesda announced that it was adding the previously-teased dune buggy to Starfield in a free update that is set to go live later tonight. Bethesda also provided another sneak peek at Shattered Space, the upcoming DLC for Starfie...
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is supposed to be the big console and Game Pass exclusive for Xbox this fall, but it won’t be long until it comes to PlayStation 5 too, according to new reports. The port has been rumored for months and is the latest ...
Forza Horizon 5 will be the next former Xbox console exclusive from Microsoft to release on PlayStation 5, according to rumors circulating online. As revealed by the reliable eXtas1s, the latest entry in the series is coming to PlayStation 5 soon, within the next few months. The timing of the announcement is not clear, but the leaker has no doubt the game is coming to Sony's current generation console.

A new Starfield mod succeeds where the base game couldn't, adding real elevators with no loading screen to Bethesda's sci-fi roleplaying game. Modder EdgiestSwing23 uploaded it this week on Nexus Mods, though it should be clarified that the mod only covers some of the elevators found in Starfield. Replaced a total of 18 elevators at 15 locations, making them truly movable elevators without the need for loading. The elevator is induction type, which means that when you approach the elevator door, the elevator will automatically come to your floor and open the door without you having to press a button. […]
The lack of land vehicles in Starfield was always a bit puzzling for some fans of the sci-fi RPG developed by Bethesda. The confirmation came in June 2023 from Todd Howard himself, who explained: No. You know, we do design it, I'm sure you've seen this with our other games, where we want to design it so it feels good on foot, but we do have the boost pack. You saw some of that in the video and you have skills for the boost pack, so the boost pack almost acts like this vehicle where you can fly through. It's […]
